Feather

Feather lays on her side and breathes heavily. Although she has done this many times she still is nervous. Painfully she pushes as hardvas she can and grunts in pain. Delivring twins is dangerous for horses and she fears something may go wrong. She needs help right away..

Feathered

This is a soft piece of life filled with snow and a new student, a Jesus boy who seems to walk straight from the fog across the highway and into the lives of the students. This book takes a quiet, unpreachy journey, a slow swivel of Frannie's world, nd leave s

This book is amazing. It is touching and really explainded a lot about racism. I felt sorry for Jesus Boy. He was descriminated against because of the color of his skin. Just like some of us lighter skinned people do to darker skinned people sometimes. It is very very wrong. Boooo racism!!!

Ehh not that great

This book isnt the best. It doesnt make that much sense. I still kinda liked it.

Feathers

I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would. It was ok, but I don't know if I really "connected" with it at all. I wouldn't reccomend this book to a lot of people, because I think some people would either find it some-what offensive, or they'd just plain-out not like it. Either way, I thought it was only ok.

Feathers by: Jacqueline Woodson (2007)

Frannie, the protagonist in the story, is searching for the meaning of poem she has heard in school. The poem is by Emily Dickinson and says "hope is the thing with feathers." Frannie doesn't know what that means, but she likes it.

Frannie is so occupied with other events in her life that she doesn't have much time to think about hope. Her mother has a constant fear of losing another child, her brother is deaf, there is a bully at her school, a strange boy suddenly appears at the new school who people refer to as the Jesus boy, and her friend Samantha, seems a little more holy than usual.

Frannie comes to see and experience things in a new light during the book. She begins to accept and understand things with a new outlook. Maybe she is learning the meaning to that thing with feathers.

Personally, I felt the book was okay but not terrific. I had trouble staying focused while I was reading. I feel like it is a slow read. There was not a lot of action and really no plot. I don't understand what the "point" of the book was. There were good messages conveyed in the book like accepting people for who they are, family values, overcoming fear, and standing up to bullies.

Woodson writes another great novel

Read this book for a graduate level master's class. Woodson is a remarkable, thoughtful, and extremely talented writer and this book certainly shows it. Told from a young girl's persepctive. Her brother is deaf and a new white boy comes to their school (they live in the black neighborhood - set in the late 1960s, early 1970s). The story focuses on seeing beyond people's differences to see how we are all the same while weaving in a message of hope. Quick and easy read but will certainly make you think about it for a long time after reading it. Children in 5th or 6th grade could read it and I recommend it for all ages, even adults.

Feathers

The book feathers was a pretty good book. My teacher told me it would be a good book and that I would like it. Then I read it - it was a pretty good. Overall I would say the book was ok. I mean the characters were good and I liked them. But my favorite character was Franny out of all of them. I liked her because she was very funny and crazy. But I really wish I knew Jesus boy's name. Overall I liked the book and the setting and the story line plot. My favorite part in the book was when Franny said "I wish I could go up to the hearing girls and say something mean". I thought that was so funny I laughed so hard it was hilarious. I would say if you like books that interesting, sad, funny, and kind of religious you should red this book. Overall it was a pretty good book but there were some parts that I didn't like but that is just one persons opinion.

LOVED IT

This book waz awsome even though it had a lil racicsum Anything other than that waz absolutly aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwsssssssssssoooooooommmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Filled with hope

when I read this I feel so filled with hope and I recomend it to whoever wants to feel the same way. "hope is thing with feathers" is from a poem by emily dickomson and is refered to throughout the book. Even though the age level is 9 to 12, you can most certainly enjoy this book if you are older than that. It's Not the best book ever, but i certainly like it.

Life's Lessons on Feathers

This book, about sixth grader Frannie, who leads a normal life, brought me to realize so many important things. This story portrays how difference (her brother's deafness, "Jesus-Boy"'s skin color) can be celebrated, and can bring good. It also shows that life is a gift and hope is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. I learned a lot from this book, it has really implanted some important things in my heart and mind. Thank you, Jacqueline Woodson for turning everything that seems important in life into a heart-warming story.

Feathers of Hope

Frannie a spunky sixth grader frequently reminds herself of the poem Ms. Johnson read in class. Hope is a thing that should have feathers becomes the characters strong hold throughout the entire story. Living on that side of the highway she faces reality issues such as dealing with segregation, poverty, friendship, a hearing impaired brother, sickness of her mother, and she is beginning to question religion in her own life. The character reflects deeply on the simple everyday occurrences that she encounters which all begins when the new kid named ¿Jesus¿ arrives. Like Frannie herself the mysterious ¿Jesus¿ finds himself against insurmountable odds. Can this be the real ¿Jesus¿? The students in Ms. Johnson¿s class including the bully Trevor and his side kick Rayray intend on finding out. In the process the characters begin to examine themselves and their circumstances looking for hope.

Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson

Frannie, the main character, comes from what seems like a typical 1970's African American family, two parents and a brother. Very middle class if it weren¿t for the segregation she faced. She seems like a fairly average sixth grader. However, she has come to the point in her life where she is examining things more closely, her brother, her long time best friend, her mother¿s pregnancy, and the new 'Jesus' kid in class. This book's central conflict is not a major crisis it shows how to deal with every day situations that kids Frannie's age are still dealing with today. This ¿normalcy¿ is what makes this book so magical, there is no one that comes to save the day. It¿s how they (all of the characters) handle the situations life throws at them. I realize Frannie was living in a very segregated situation, but the issues she faces are very timely. Most students will be able to relate to the moral dilemma of how to handle a disagreement with a friend or the threat of a bully. The Dickenson poem is brought up throughout the story, reminding readers to keep hope alive. Sometimes perception is everything, it clearly shows how to look for hope in the midst of 6th grade. I really enjoyed this book.
